The catalogue in 3D
The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.
How it feels
A young man named Leo gradually confronts his own sexual identity. He reconnects with an old school friend and starts a relationship with a more confident man, all while his small room becomes both a hiding place and a symbol of his isolated life.

What happens
Leo's Room (in Spanish: El Cuarto De Leo) is a 2009 Uruguayan film about a young man coming to terms with his self and sexual identity. Enrique Buchichio directed the film, and Martín Rodríguez starred as Leo. In the film, Leo meets an acquaintance from school, Caro. He then develops a relationship with a much more confident young man named Seba. Throughout, his small room serves as a refuge, a place of limited privacy, and a metaphor for his reclusive lifestyle. Venkatesh called the film a "fascinating though slow portal into the protagonist's grappling with sexuality." (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
